Certification Problem

Input (TPDB TRS_Relative/Relative_05/rt2-1)

The relative rewrite relation R/S is considered where R is the following TRS

T(I(x),y) T(x,y) (1)

and S is the following TRS.

T(x,y) T(x,I(y)) (2)

Property / Task

Prove or disprove termination.

Answer / Result

Yes.

1 Rule Removal

Using the linear polynomial interpretation over (4 x 4)-matrices with strict dimension 1 over the naturals
[T(x1, x2)] =
1 0 0 1
0 0 0 0

all of the following rules can be deleted.
T(I(x),y) T(x,y) (1)

1.1 R is empty

There are no rules in the TRS. Hence, it is terminating.
